"We have been really pleased with this little bike. It has a robust structure and its cheerful colours really appealed to our little boy who has been delighted with it. The handle on the back is really useful for those times when little legs are tired and mum or dad need to haul it back up the hill! The 'cruise plate' is a useful addition as it provides a ledge to rest your feet on whilst learning to find your balance. It also has a brake which is an added bonus."

Pros: the look padded seat robust

Cons: minimun seat height is a bit too high

"Bought this for my Son who is nearly 2. When he saw it he was very excited and ran to get on it. He went to sit on the saddle but couldn't reach the floor. I lowered the seat to the lowest possible setting but he could still only reach the floor properly on one side and he's fairly tall for his age. The bike, however, is fairly robust, has a nice soft saddle and looks like a proper bike, just without pedals. Once my Son is tall enough I'm sure he will have hours of fun on it."

"Very good service, walked in and bike was there built waiting for me. assistant gave a bit of a run down about it whilst handing over. can't fault the process in my experience.

Slight amount of play in front bars which I was informed was due to a plastic fixing, but is so insignificant caused no concerns for me or had any effect on bikes performance. My boy loves it and had his feet up within 20 mins."

"Bought this for 3 year old's birthday, at a reduced price, which was ok. Don't think it would be worth full price though. Full price was pretty steep.Our 3 year old loves it, it's a great little balance bike, and he's already zooming around on it. our 6 year old could ride a bike without stabilisers before he was 5 so hopefully it'll be the same here.The reserve service at Halfords wasn't very good though, lack of communication."

"Bought for my sons birthday, on his first outing he complained that the seat was hurting him and after further inspection we found a screw was poking up through the saddle!. the saddle overall was very hard. When we took it back to the shop we had a look at the one on show and it had exactly the same thing wrong with it but in a different place on the saddle. The assistant himself agreed it was 'ridiculous!'. The front mudguard also had a small crack in it after one outing of about 30mins!.So i would definitley not recommend this product as feel it was very poor quality. The staff were helpful though and helped us to pick another bike with stabilisers that my son loves."

Pros: brake on the bike is great

"Really impressed with this little balance bike, it is light but sturdy and the bright colours are great. The stand is a useful addition for when you are out and your child wants to have a run around.The brake is also a great addition not seen on any of the other balance bikes I looked at it get the child used to using a brake for when they upgrade to a pedal bike.The seat and handlebars are fully adjustable again this is great for ensuring the bike is comforable to ride."

"This balance bike is great, my daughter got on it and managed straightaway to manouevre this bike. The lowered foot rest makes getting on and off easier than if there was a bar across to step over. The colours and bright and cheerful and unisex, it's nice not to have to choose between a blue or a pink one!

Only drawback is the brake is so far away from the handlebar that my daughter cannot hold the handlebar and reach the brake at the same time but then I think it will be a while before she wll be able to manage using a brake anyway."

Pros: shop was open late on a thursday

Cons: very low quality tyres, very low quality inner tubes

"bought this for my 2.5 year old for christmas, within two days use on carpet it had a puncture,

I have been a commuter cyclist for approaching 30 years, and this week (march 2011) the bike not only got a puncture on the front wheel, but the tyre was totally perished, I would only expect that kind of wear on a tyre that was around 8-10 years old, not 3 months old.

only buy this expecting to pay to replace the tyres and inner tubes.

my son loves the bike, but as a parent I wouldnt recommend it unless you like fixing punctures"
